Many craftspeople, rather than maximising their output, end up either focussing on teaching, or tending towards making a small number of elaborate pieces that attract a high price and/or accolades at craft competitions. This is very understandable. It’s not easy to gain either money or recognition through regular old hard graft in manual craft manufacturing. And it’s tough on the body. Even so, I’ve always leaned more towards the production end of the spectrum, making lots of more utilitarian pieces: as many as I can. Never as many as I’d like. Every new person who’s out there using and enjoying one of my spoons is an accolade to me. The more the better. That’s a physical thing I’ve brought into existence that has an effect on people. That’s satisfying to me.
I’ve produced and sold a lot of spoons in the last two months. Here’s just a few ‘Ultimate Cooking Spoons’ and some large serving spoons.
